Call me Jonano (jo-nano)!

Welcome to the wonderful lonely life of Jonathan Despres, a friendly human specimen...

You will hear from meâ„¢

Immortality = Unlimited Potential

Personal Information

Name: Jonathan Despres (in french: Després) (jo-na-than de-s-pre-s)

Born in 1981 December 15th in Canada, Québec, Sorel. The child of André Després & Linda Dubé.

My Genealogy Tree

My email is jonano@gmail.com (I have more than 5500 email discussions in the inbox)

School: High School (Secondary 5) + 3 years in college in Pure Sciences.

Religion: Currently Atheist. (My descendants' religion is catholicism)

I learned to walk at 10 months old.

I'm right handed.

I learned to read & write in french at 7-8 years old.

I scored only 1 goal in an official soccer match. At 10 years old.

I learned english at 15 years old.

I learned to type on computers at 16 years old.

I learned to drive a car at 22.

I'm jealous when it comes to women.

I'm a big dreamer and a big fan of it. My life is to short for my dreams.

I prefer music over silence.

I have realized that this is when you are free as an individual that you can really see yourself as you are. A long life equals personal freedom.

I have a brother in my life that I do not consider my brother as of today. We haved done alot of fighting against each other; to the point of destroying what we love.

My strongest & biggest motivation in my personal life is to be recognized as the grandest lover of life & love.

Some of my favorite movies are: 1) Alive, The Andes Survivors, 2) The Abyss, 3) Alien Series, (all movies with a confined/isolated crew/team/group) A.I., Transformers (2007), Forest Gump & Jurassic Park 1.

I popularized this quote: "Matter will become software" and I consider myself as the author of it.

I also believe that you must remain beautiful if you dont want to die.

I don't believe I deserve to be cremated or buried, not with my knowledge.

I am (and will always be) fascinated by the richest man in the world (the position), which is the reason that you can read everything about me on internet.

My goal in my life is to protect my life as much as possible. The best I can do that is: to first learn about the future, make a living.

One of my dreams is to succeed in a Cryonics experience.

Work

Firstly, I am founder of several discussions, text & information on forums, blogs, archived ressources, wikis around the web, which is part of my work in this life, furthermore I see them as a foundation for technological advancement (You can call me a "Web Author"). I have a broad knowledge in apparel, selling & making/producing. I have been selling my own brand (Jon D) in fashion since 2002, this is my daily work & passion and I use the venue to make a living. I have invested alot of my money (12 000$CAD), time, education & knowledge in this dream.

I have also done other things:

I implemented & constructed a portal on major technologies. Presented many books (not mine), papers & links online. As seen on this web page:

Atomasoft Publications

and a links directory wrote in 1999: Atomasoft Links. Atomasoft became NanoApex and NanoApex became Nanotechnology.com. I also started The NanoAging Institute, a life extension business, where I maintained a blog for 2 years. I developed the second largest blog on nanotechnology in the world, NanotechNews.com, where I maintained the blog for 3 years. I also co-founded what became the biggest mailing list on nanotechnology with Calin Plesa (now with 5000 members+). I opened The School of Futurology. I also created AVAKL (currently unavailable because of a mysql failure with my hosting company, if you need to see it drop me an email as I will work to upload it again.), a web platform & tool for measuring online reputation. I did the site entirely with PHP, MySQL & Fedora. I also maintain and update a photo log called futuristic photos log. I am able to install web tools such as: a content management system, a blog, a wiki, a mailing list, a forum, a photo log etc...




Personal Disease

I have fought with many diseases and life disruptions, such as aging. I have also had to deal with a few mental diseases that are no longer a part of my reality. Mental Diseases: I had suicidal problems in the past, they are no longer here (too much of imagination, not enough self-crictics), thanks to Zyprexa which cover this psychotic problems/event. I was also irritable, I can't say if I still have this problem, but I take Epival for that. My colleagues in life are telling good things about it. And finally, I have a pure obsessive compulsive disorder, a weird disease, controlled by an anxiolitic: ativan. When I don't take it for a day, the disease is re-appearing. All those diseases were diagnosed by my physician/doctor: Daniel Lecoeur, he did a very good job and we are still in touch to this day. I cannot say whether or not I will have more diseases/disorders, I think I will. As for aging, I hope to be cured with Cryonics and hopefully not only with Cryonics but with any new therapy.

One sentence that could describe me

"He consults on advanced decision making and foresight methods for handling the impact of emerging technologies. He is an independent seller, philosopher, atheist, capitalist, futurist, optimist, transhumanist, libertarian, netizen, extropian, a prolific web author, cryonicist, nanotechnology enthusiast, immortalist, life extensionist, postdarwinist, modernist, wikipedian inclusionist/eventualist, intellectual, avid reader, sovereignist, existentialist, humanist, environmentalist, posthuman and singularitarian. He has experience (knowledge) with new technologies & new scientific concepts."




Negative Stuff

In the nanotechnology community I have been critized to plagiarize papers and texts about nanotechnology on the web to my web site (Atomasoft). (I promote total liberty on the web for for the purpose of an individual as well as free content.)

Aubrey de Grey told me not to spam for aging research, but I did.

My membership request with the cryonics institute has been refused three times, the only man in the world with any cryonics organizations.





I am far from perfect and have regretted many things in my life but because I am a honest man, I will describe some of those things:

1) I did spam, on wikipedia, on discussion forums, usenet groups, mailing lists, I even stored a database of 25 millions of different global emails on my computer. I used proxies to hide my identity etc..

2) I vandalized wikipedia pages

3) I did some solicitations and I often created projects as seen as scam projects. However I never received any money from people on through this.

4) I tried to get a gun illegally. I also did many negative things in my life such as fighting with my brother & father and I was not always polite with my mother.

You can read many texts on internet about my past negative behavior: here. It was also believed that I was responsible for the Ebola Virus of Cryonics.

I cannot guarantee that I will not have more problems in the future but I can hope that I don't.
